14 weeks

Today I am 14 weeks pregnant!  When I first found out I was pregnant, I saw this pregnancy journal/blog where the mom had taken pictures of her baby belly each week to keep track of her growth!  I thought that was a great idea, because I was sure to forget what I looked like at various stages.  So, at week 6, I took my first picture.  Of course at this point, the baby was like 5 mm long, so clearly not capable of giving me any sort of "baby bump".  So I counted that as my "before" pregnancy picture.  Okay so then each week after that, I was going to take a picture and see how I changed.  Well, at week 7, no change, so I couldn't be bothered taking a picture.  Same with week 8.  So here we are, at week 14, and still, I think there has been no change.  But this was the first time I made myself take another picture, just so I had one.  I mean, at this point, our baby is only like 3 and a half inches long, so still not necessarily going to be visible at all.  I guess we'll just wait and see.

As for the weight gain, so far, I am still down about 1-2 lbs, depending on the day.  Works for me!  My goal is not to be one of those people that thinks they can eat whatever they want once pregnant, and then gain like 50 lbs.  No no no.  Of course I say that now when I still have no appetite and it's easy to not eat that much.  We'll just have to wait and see.  I know there is one person that is disappointed that I don't look pregnant yet... my youngest sister.  Every single time I talk to her, the first words out of her mouth are "You fat yet?"  Nice.  One of these days, I will be answering yes, but for now, luckily, the answer is still no.  At least no fatter than I was before being pregnant. :)

Anyway, judge for yourself, 6 weeks pregnant vs 14 weeks pregnant.  I even put on the same "outfit."  Excuse the toilet in the background.  And the mood lighting in the 2nd one, it was taken at 6am... less sunlight, more weird bathroom lighting.  I guess now looking at these, if you look really closely, the lower part of my stomach is more rounded/goes out a tiny bit more than the first photo (note that that "bump" in the first photo has been with me for years :) Eh, you be the judge.  As far as I'm concerned, I weigh the same and I look the same.
Now tomorrow I am going to call and make an appointment for our big ultrasound, and I'm hoping it will be 5 weeks from tomorrow!  That means in 5 weeks we will *hopefully find out if we are having a boy or a girl!  I must say, I go back and forth between wanting a boy and wanting a girl, and I think that's a good thing because I will obviously be happy with either.  The thing is, girls are just so cute, and I would love to have a girl, BUT, I just don't really see myself getting excited about buying pink clothes and dresses and all that jazz.  Not so much my thing.  But running in the mud and playing soccer with a little boy... more my scene.  But, as I said, on a different day I'll decide I would prefer to have a girl, and the next day I will say boy.  Right now, if I had to guess, I would say I think we are having a girl, BUT really I have a 50:50 shot of getting that right, and this "feeling" I have makes me feel more like a 51:49 odds in favor of girl.  So, don't take my word for it. :)  Mark's convinced it's a boy, but that is 100% wishful thinking, so I guess we have to wait the 5 weeks until we know for sure!
